Women face greater threats to their economic well-being in old age due to more frequent interruptions in paid work from caregiving responsibilities, divorce, labor market discrimination and an outdated Social Security system that favors women eligible to collect their husband's benefits and disadvantages both divorced and never married women.

That domestic bit has another face too: Where men who've experienced trauma might be able to take time off to recover, women are expected to maintain their domestic, caregiving roles, which makes it harder for women to address symptoms of post-traumatic stress for fear of "failing" at their roles as mother, daughter and wife.

For a person's reality to include potentially unchangeable limitations like genetics, medical illnesses, socioeconomics, caregiving requirements, job responsibilities, and travel — as well as the fact that food is not just fuel, but also something that we as a species use for comfort, for celebration, and as the substrate of the world's oldest social network?

The diversion of attention — due alternatively to the need to attend to personal needs (such as family caregiving, healthcare issues, or household concerns) or societal requirements (such as monitoring the development of the virus and state or federal reactions to it) — can make a cumulative impact over the days, weeks, and months of the outbreak.

However, your article suggests one policy change, with some precedent in other nations, that could have a critically positive impact: instituting a "caregiving credit" in the calculation of Social Security benefits, which would lessen the penalty for those (mostly but not only women) who are forced to leave the labor market to provide care for a family member.

In both Hayata-san's world and mine, I'm encouraged by growing support for paid family leave, talk of changing workplace cultures to make room for the personal realities of our lives and the increasing number of men who are taking the lead in family caregiving and adding their voices to the call for flexibility and support.

But "Ladysitting" is not just a caregiving memoir; it's also a dive into Cary's own history — one in which her family immigrated from Barbados to America, then endured the oppression of the South, where "Jim Crow laws and lynchings made sure that every gain would be paid for in blood and money," before settling in Philadelphia.

But DC's 212 weeks got whittled down to eight weeks of parental leave for a new child, six weeks for family caregiving, and two weeks for personal medical leave (which is the most expensive benefit to insure because it happens most frequently, but also the one that workers are least likely to need for more than a week or two at a time).

Adopt long-term family and medical programs for owners, employees and caregivers: The time is now for Congress to thoughtfully establish a national program providing partial wage replacement for small business employees (specifically businesses with fewer than 50 employees) and the self-employed to handle serious health conditions for themselves, family members, or loved ones they are caregiving for, including parental leave.

"The best flex policies are reason-blind, which allows anyone with a caregiving need of any kind at any age to get their job done in the most productive way possible for their jobs in a culture that's set up circa 1965," said Lauren Smith Brody, an author and the founder of The Fifth Trimester, a consultancy that helps companies retain new mothers.

Evolutionary psychologists, eagerly applying adaptive logic to every facet of behavior and cognition, have speculated that the human perception of beauty emerges from a set of ancient adaptations: Perhaps men like women with large breasts and narrow waists because those features signal high fertility; symmetrical faces may correlate with overall health; maybe babies are irresistibly cute because their juvenile features activate the caregiving circuits in our brains.

But for many sex workers — in particular, the transgender, nonwhite, and other marginalized sex workers who often find themselves shut out of other employment opportunities — sex work is simply a job, and one that pays well enough to cover their bills while offering a flexible enough structure to accommodate caregiving duties, chronic illness, and other issues that might pose a problem at a typical 9-to-5 office job.

That paradoxical finding - that life becomes more satisfying when sick partners die than when they recover - may arise from the fact that on average, bereaved caregivers in the study had heavier caregiving burdens, with sicker spouses and more hours spent caring for their loved one until the caregiver role ended, said Laura Langner, a sociology researcher at the University of Oxford and Nuffield College in the UK who led the research.

"Informal caregiving is common, and the need for carers is expected to grow due to population aging and cuts to social care services in various countries," said lead study author Lawrence Sacco of the Institute of Gerontology at King's College London in the UK.

Since co-founding the Women's Equality Party in 2015, I have come to understand the multiple forces that keep women out of politics, from the first-past-the-post electoral system that favors incumbents and has been shown globally to exclude women and minority perspectives, to the teeth-rattling expense of campaigning, for parties and individuals (and the gender pay gap, combined with caregiving commitments is a huge barrier for many women).
